Love, Let Me Count the Ways

from Bridging the Ideal and the Real Hosted by J. Pittman McGehee, D.D.

We live in a culture of narcissism centered on ego and ego gratification and most of us think love is a synonym for excitement instead of the Jungian view point of a Self for a Self, what Martin Buber calls an I-thou relationship. We are each barely conscious of who we choose to love as the unconscious seeks to reenact earlier relationships that have been left incomplete. In this talk, Pittman McGehee differentiates for us 3 kinds of love, the light and dark side of each. Erotic love known as Eros, friendship, Philia or love of kinship and Agape, a word to describe a subject for a subject, God’s love for us. If we are seeking wholeness and healing, we move towards a love that transcends and transforms both. Instead of repeating patterns endlessly, we can learn from them. This talk was presented at the Women's Institute on 2/13/2000.
